Get into these new beauties from AVL. The wine company has been producing so much non-alc wine, it has found itself with surplus grape spirit on its hands. And so….it has become a producer of premium spirits and RTD cocktails.
Launched this week in Sydney, the Tempus Two Shiraz Gin was an absolute hit. And the new Rescued Spirits are young, fresh and zingy. Highly recommended them!

Our Formula 1 national treasure, @danielricciardo

Our Formula 1 national treasure, @danielricciardo and @sthugowines winemaker Peter Munro celebrate their wine collaboration St Hugo DR 3 and the (sold out already) limited edition hand blown glass decanter modelled on the champion’s left shoe. Now 1000 lucky purchasers can do the famous shoey with Ricciardo’s personal blend of Barossa Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon. Delicious! We hope St Hugo do another run with the right foot for the next vintage.
Thanks for the news and the photo sent by Drinks Trade Magazine Editor @melissalparker_ who met the legend at Melbourne’s new W Hotel today.
